The East Texas Area Health Education Center seeks to improve the supply and distribution of the healthcare workforce by supporting the placement of health professions students in community settings throughout our 111-county region in the eastern half of Texas. Students complete required coursework in a community, taught by local physicians and health professionals. We believe that integration in to the community during real-life educational experiences can have a positive impact on a student to return to that area to work.
